Unit 3: Measurements
In this unit students will:
• Know the following customary units for measuring length: inch, foot, yard
• Recognize the need for standard units of measure
• Use rulers and other measurement tools with the understanding that linear measure involves an iteration of units.
• Recognize that the smaller the unit is, the more iterations needed to cover a given length.
• Know the following metric units for measuring length: centimeter and meter
• Compare the relationship of one unit of measurement to another, within the same system
• Check by measuring to determine if estimates are accurate for length
• Determine the appropriate tool for measuring length: inch ruler and yardstick, centimeter ruler, and meter stick
• Tell time to the nearest five minutes.
• Understand the relationship of hours and days.
• Understand the importance and usefulness of reasonable estimations .
• Connect the whole-number units on rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks and measuring tapes to number lines showing whole-number units starting at 0
• Use these measuring tools to model different representations for whole-number sums and differences less than or equal to 100 using the numbers 0 to 100.
• Be able to represent the length of several objects by making a line plot
